    Storm tripped breaker - won't power back on

    Just took a closer look & there is water in the breaker. I've gotten out what I can with a paper towel & now have the door open to the panel to see if we can dry it out. An electrician is next on the list to call!

    Storm tripped breaker - won't power back on

    We checked the main breaker for the pool (on the house vs the one by the pool for the pump/system board). It is on. We tried resetting it to see if that would make a difference, but it did not.

    Storm tripped breaker - won't power back on

    That breaker powers the pump & the pool light.

    Storm tripped breaker - won't power back on

    We had a pretty bad storm last night. Check the pool this morning, pump is off. Check the breaker box & it's tripped & panel says Check System Reset. The actual system is working, the breaker for the lights is on, but the pump breaker is off. There is a GFCI reset button, but it won't push...

    Cloudy water

    Just realized I multiplied by the wrong number! FC = 30 CC = 1

    Cloudy water

    Retested FC & CC. Same results. From what I’ve been told previously (here on TFPS) that this is where my FC should be. We did have algae, but we slammed and replaced chlorinated so that the SWG started producing chlorine itself. We’ve been algae free for over a week. The cloudiness has gotten...

    Cloudy water

    We've had some issues with our SWG producing chlorine... turns out it was time for a new chlorinator. Got that replaced. We're making chlorine now, but water is cloudy (as in, can't see the drains in the 6 1/2 ft deep end). Here's what I've got: Salt: 3800 (a little high still) Free Chlorine...

    Help - I'm confused!

    So, retested today, here's my results: pH 7.6 TA 60 (yay! got this up) Calcium Hardness 60 CYA 70 (yay! this is up too!) Salt 3600 FAS-DPD still not registering... I put in the 2 scoops of R-0870 & it just turns a cloudy white & it looks like it's not all breaking up no matter how much I...

    Help - I'm confused!

    We have a SWCG (oops, didn't list in signature - only got that set up last year & wasn't 100% sure what info to include). I have it set to be on 100% of the time (b/c that's how the pool guys set it). I tried to do the FAS-DPD test, but no matter how much of the powder I put in, my liquid...

    Help - I'm confused!

    The first two years we had our pool, everything was perfect. Last year I had to SLAM it, then all was well for the rest of the summer. Here we are again & I just feel lost. I just don't really understand what my levels SHOULD be (our pool was completed in the middle of what was a REALLY cold...

    HELP! Levels completely off & have bad algae

    I think I'm moving in the right direction... today is day 4. The water is more of a blue color (vs the yucky green) but it's still "thick" (as in I can't see the bottom). I feel like this is progress though! I'm checking my water about 4-5 times a day. Adding chlorine (amounts per the pool...

    HELP! Levels completely off & have bad algae

    Yep, started yesterday because I knew I'd be home all day today! I've had to add chlorine a few times today as it was well below 20 early this morning, closer around noon & 19.5 a few minutes ago. I've been checking every 3 hours during the day. Ready to do what I need to in order to clear up...

    HELP! Levels completely off & have bad algae

    Fingers crossed... just started the process... Put in 6 gallons of 10% liquid chlorine (an hour ago), brushed pool & have waterfall running. I just tested & my chlorine is currently at 24. I'll test again around 5ish (& turn off the waterfall) & then one last time around 8p. I'll test first...
